Extended Outages

[quote="Jakkal":1jyzudwi]Thanks for all the work, John. Much appreciated![/quote:1jyzudwi]
Thanks, Jak. It is indeed quite a bit of work but I love messing with hardware.

All,
We're back. At this point, if something doesn't work, let me know (specifically for VGOEmulator)

EDIT, actually it looks like only the forums work

Oh what the devil... I was just logged into those Thanks, I'll check them out again.

I see what it is. As usual, inconsistent shitty DNS that one minute supplies the machines FQDN, and the next it's IP. I was trying to "harden" the connection by limiting it to just the machine name, and 10 minutes later it tries to log in using it's IP. Computers are so stupid.

Welcome Back!

Any teasers as to when we'll get to test the next feature? I'm constantly shocked at how fast you and your team work with this project. Dad and I met you in either Fallen Earth or the Repopulation alpha at some point i think, and we were really excited to hear you starting the project! We sorta figured after Sunset, that'd just be it. No more Vanguard ever. This makes me quite glad, and i've got a whole group of people just waiting for the day they can screw around in Telon once more!

Nice work! Nobody should be destroying worlds but me!!

We could sure use a whole group of people screwing around on New Telon even now. The more people finding bugs, the faster we can squash them. Bring them on over.

It's that time, folks. Late October, as promised, there [may] be a few more power outages on all my services. The new roof is scheduled to go on starting tomorrow morning, though I have yet to receive confirmation. Not sure if the roofing company plans to cut power to the entire building or just the A/C units during removal.

Either way, plan on there being 24-48 hours of no service here, worst case scenario.

There's going to be another planned outage, maybe this weekend if I get time. Need to pick up all the network hardware and move it to another room down the hall for safety while I barsh out a few more walls ~hulk smash!~ I am scheduling this for Sat afternoon when the server is mostly dead anyway, and the interruption shouldn't be too long of the virtual clusters do their job. If I wasn't moving the SAN, you'd never even know we moved

I'll take advantage of the down time to perform some preventative maintenance, since my machines have been sucking in gypsum for the last few weeks as it is. One of them is starting to whine a little...

So, heads up.
